Description: ReVisioning: Critical Methods of Seeing Christianity in the
History of Art examines the application of art historical methods to the
history of Christianity and art. As methods of art history have become
more interdisciplinary, there has been a notable emergence of
discussions of religion in art history as well as related fields such as
visual culture and theology. This book represents the first critical
examination of scholarly methodologies applied to the study of Christian
subjects, themes, and contexts in art. ReVisioning contains original
work from a range of scholars, each of whom has addressed the question,
in regard to a well-known work of art or body of work, ""How have
particular methods of art history been applied, and with what effect?""
The study moves from the third century to the present, providing
extensive treatment and analysis of art historical methods applied to
the history of Christianity and art.
